100 days 100 galleries; Day 86: Spazio Cordis, Verona Italy

In Verona more contemporary art is needed and from this requirement felt by collectors and enthusiasts, Spazio Cordis was born last October, a new independent exhibition venue located in the former clinic of the cardiologist and collector Alberto Geremia. The space, whose artistic direction was entrusted to Jessica Bianchera, is part of the homonymous cultural association, presided by Geremia himself.

Carlos Fentanes: Your last mosaic was a surprise. At the beginning I didn’t understand what was all about because none of the pieces make sense until you see them together.
I don’t have in my feed such things as mosaics, you need a lot of planning to do that. Is it worked?

The gallery didn’t answer.

Have you seen those Instagram pages where everything is well curated and every image is there with a very specific purpose in the whole. They even make mosaics to create bigger pictures of their art? So neat and clean. Well, my Instagram page is not one of these. I use my Instagram to inform my audience about what I’m doing, not to make puzzles but there are some galleries and some artists that explode this mosaics. But, why a gallery that takes its time to create this fabulous pages doesn’t have time to answer its messages? It’s totally contradictory, a double message: I care about the design of my page but I don’t care about my audience. what? why? That’s not my gallery.

There’s another problem: they don’t have a webpage, if they don’t have a webpage I can tell you that they’re not serious about their business. Definitely not my gallery. And because they don’t have a webpage they don’t have info about submissions.
